Did ya guys catch American Idol Finale last Friday? For those of you who missed it,here's a recap of what happened on the show:

Singer: Blake Lewis
Song: "You Give Love a Bad Name"
The judges say: Randy gives him a 10-out-of-10 for beatboxing, but says the singing was merely aight. Paula, floating in the clouds tonight, gives him a 10-plus-10-plus-10. Simon says Blake isn't their best singer, but he's the best performer, adding that the singing was a bit flat in places.

Singer: Jordin Sparks
Song: "Fighter"
The judges say: Randy asks her to check it out and tells her that this was an interesting night for him. He wasn't necessarily entertained, but he thought her voice was stellar. "Stellar" is a new word for Paula, so she repeats it. Simon likes that she chose a younger song, but calls the vocals shrieky. He gives Round One to Blake. Paula says nothing. Randy meaninglessly gives the performance edge to Blake and the vocal edge to Jordin.

Singer: Blake Lewis
Song: "She Will Be Loved"
The judges say: Randy thought it was a great song and a very nice vocal. Paula, who really should have been given the night off tonight since she has a totally legit excuse to be swimming on painkillers, giggles, stutters and finally says that Blake sounded relaxed. Simon calls it good, safe and not as good as the first performance.

Singer: Jordin Sparks
Song: "A Broken Wing"
The judges say: Randy says that age ain't got nothing to do with it and that she was flawless and better than the original. Paula announces Jordin looks great and was in fine vocal voice tonight. Simon says it was good. I believe we can safely say that Round Two goes to Jordin.

Singer: Blake Lewis
Song: "This Is My Now"
The judges say: Randy says he did a pretty good job and he doesn't have to feel bad about it. Paula thinks he did a great job. Simon found it a little odd, observing that it isn't the kind of song he'd normally sing.

Singer: Jordin Sparks
The judges say: Randy tries protesting that this is a singing competition and she was the night's best singer. Paula calls her an angel. Simon didn't think Jordin was good enough to make the finals, but he says that he was wrong. Then he also mentions that it's a singing competition and she wiped the floor with Blake. Randy gives the night to Jordin. Paula has no opinion. Simon says Blake had the night's best performance, but Jordin won overall.

Results show:
74 million votes were cast. Ryan feigns no closeness to the vote. Randy picks Jordin. Paula's proud of both of them and that they're both winners. Simon congratulates Jordin.

Paula's wrong. They're not both winners. The winner is...

JORDIN SPARKS! Congratulations,girl! ;)
